Not a whole lot unfortunately... you can try some ultra thin bump stops, and maybe some quick disco's for the sway bar... thats about it though. All the travel growth kits cost mucho

I forget where I got mine from... but they aren't hard to find. They are sold as universal bump stops.... probably get them from pep boys even.

Autozone has some low profile ones that fit for around 5 bucks and also some poly-bushings for 9.99 if you try to make some sway bar discos.

Disconnecting your front sway bar is free. I've never driven one with it disconnected, but I doubt it's a particularly horrific experience on the street. It's probably your best bang for the buck flexibility increase. It won't increase travel, but it will let you flex around within those limits more readily.

I don't know why I didn't think about this earlier, but cross linked shocks are another way to go: http://www.4x4wire.com/toyota/tech/air_shocks/

Do a search over there on 4x4wire and you'll find more info.

Yes the cross-linked air shocks will help. I have them in the front and rear. I recommend putting a valve in between the shocks so you can unlink them while driving on-road. The extra flex is not very highway friendly, especially exit ramps at 50-60 mph.:pat:
